BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

(1) Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to hand held pistols and revolver firearmsthat have a Picatinny Rail mount on the underside of the front grip nearthe barrel region to allow mounting of the present invention to be usedto reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise by allowing the shooter to apply acantilever reciprocating force to improve aim and targeting when firinga pistol with the shooter's non-shooting hand thumb.

(2) Background Art

Prior-art used for reducing pistol and revolver recoil were placed onthe hand gun grip section or anchored to the hand gun grip. A handgungrip recoil device in the rear location does not allow transfer of acantilever force towards the front of the firearm with the non-shootinghand thumb fully extended to prevent primary and secondary recoilforces. Primary recoil forces are the result of momentum conservation;momentum characterizes an objects resistance to movement. Although abullet's mass is quite small compared to a hand gun, the velocity of thebullet traveling down the barrel creates a momentum of the gun recoilingin the opposite direction. The secondary recoil comes later when thebullet leaves the muzzle and the hot exploded gases creates a second andlarger momentum in the opposite direction on the hand gun. As a result,reciprocating forces are not applied under the hand gun barrel near themuzzle opening by other devices; this is where muzzle rise originatesafter a fired bullet departs the pistol barrel through the muzzlecoupled with the explosive hot gases, and rear grip mounted recoilsystems do not apply downward force in the muzzle area to harness thesesecondary recoil forces. These devices also do not mount to thePicatinny Rail and are on the rear portion of the hand gun grip insteadof the front portion of the hand gun grip. As a result, theconfiguration on the rear hand gun grip does not offer a cantileverreciprocating down force near the muzzle as does the present invention.

Other prior-art requires the shooter to drill into the side of a pistolhand gun grip or internal frame to attach a ledge. These devices are noteasily detachable and also do not apply forces to the underside of thebarrel near the muzzle to harness the secondary recoil forces as well asthe present invention. The present invention solves this problem makingan attachment with hand guns that have a Picatinny Rail built into thefront of the hand gun grip.

What is needed to reduce muzzle rise and felt recoil is the presentinvention which attaches under the barrel of the pistol on the grip areathat has a Picatinny Rail and provides a cantilever reciprocating forceto reduce muzzle rise and felt recoil by the shooter as set forth in thenext section.

BRIEF SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

Modern pistols and revolvers have a Picatinny Rail mounted to the frontpart of the firearm grip, and under the barrel of the firearm. In thecase of pistols, the Picatinny Rail is typically an integral part of thepistol grip. In the case of revolvers, the Picatinny Rail is attacheddirectly under the revolver's barrel.

The present invention utilizes the Picatinny Rail to mount the presentinvention base section in the front region of the hand gun andtransferring a surface on the side of the hand gun to a thumb pad whichoffers the shooter a location to apply down forces to limit muzzle riseand felt recoil with the shooter's non-shooting thumb.

By applying reciprocating opposing down force on the present inventionwith the non-shooting hand thumb at the thumb pad, the shooter is ableto utilize their non-shooting hand thumb, which normally has littlecontribution to the shooters grip on the hand gun, in a way that reducesmuzzle rise and felt recoil.

The object of the present invention is to increase control with the handgun by using the non-shooting hand thumb to apply additional contactwith the hand gun during firing for those hand guns that have aPicatinny Rail mounting location.

The present invention can also be integrated with a permanent orremovable Picatinny Rail mounting location that mates to the bottom ofthe present invention to add an additional Picatinny Rail location forother firearm accessories such as lasers or lights to be mounted to thehand gun in conjunction with the present invention.

The present invention can be made in a mirror image configuration toaccommodate both right and left handed shooters. Right handed shooters,would be mounted with the thumb pad on the left hand side of the handgun grip for pistols (hand gun frame for revolvers); Left HandedShooters, would be mounted with the thumb rest on the right hand side ofthe hand gun grip (hand gun frame for revolvers).
